All payments must be made in Canadian funds, in cash or by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable, at par, in Vancouver, British Columbia, made payable to the Company’s name set out on the face hereof or, if such name is changed after the Issue Date, the Company’s then current name. If payment is made by way of an uncertified cheque, the Company reserves the right to deem that the payment has not been received until the cheque has cleared the account upon which it has been drawn. |

Any adjustment contemplated herein shall be to the effect that the rights evidenced by this Warrant shall thereafter be as reasonably as possible equivalent to those originally granted hereby. In accordance with this certificate, the Company will make adjustments as it considers necessary and equitable acting in good faith, subject to any approvals required by any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed.

| 13. | Unless herein otherwise expressly provided, any notice (a “Notice”) to be given hereunder to the holder of the Warrant shall be deemed to be validly given if the Notice is sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder or delivered by hand at the address appearing on the Register and if, in the case of joint holders of the Warrant, more than one address appears on the Register in respect of that joint holding, the Notice shall be addressed or delivered, as the case may be, only to the first address, as the case may be, so appearing. Any Notice so given shall be deemed to have been given on the day of delivery by hand or on the next business day if delivered by mail. If, by reason of strike, lockout or other work stoppage, actual or threatened, involving postal employees, any Notice to be given to the holder of the Warrant could reasonably be considered unlikely to reach its destination, the Notice may be published or distributed once in the Report on Business section of the national edition of The Globe and Mail newspaper or, in the event of a disruption in the circular of that newspaper, once in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario.

VERSES® Announces Closing of Private Placement Offering of Units
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 13, 2026 – VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) (“VERSES’’ or the “Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in next-generation intelligent software systems, is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement offering of 1,170,807 units (the “Units”) of the Company at a price of C$0.75 (US$0.55) per Unit (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company raised gross cash proceeds of C$745,805 (approximately US$547,644) through the issuance of 994,407 Units, before deducting commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, and extinguished C$132,300 (approximately US$97,148) in liabilities through the issuance of 176,400 Units.
Each Unit is comprised of one Class A Subordinate Voting Share of the Company (a “Share”) and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$1.00 (approximately US$0.73) per Warrant Share at any time until the date that is 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to adjustment in certain events.
The net proceeds of the Offering are intended to strengthen the Company’s financial position and provide liquidity to finance continuing operations, including, in particular, the Company’s expenses incurred, and expected to be incurred, in connection with the Company’s research and development objectives, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash finders’ fees of C$16,160 (approximately US$11,866) and issued an aggregate of 75,546 finder warrants (each, a “Finder Warrant”) to certain finders located outside of the United States, who assisted the Company with the offer and sale of Units to purchasers who were not “U.S. persons” as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act (as defined below). Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one finder unit (a “Finder Unit”) at a price of C$0.75 (approximately $0.55) for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date. Each Finder Unit will consist of one Share and one half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Finder Unit Warrant”), and each Finder Unit Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one additional Share at a price of C$1.00 (approximately US$0.73) per Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.
All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada.
Michael Blum, the chairman of the Company’s board, subscribed for 53,333 Units under the Offering for aggregate gross proceeds of C$40,000 (approximately US$29,372). The issuance of the Units to Mr. Blum pursuant to the Offering (the “Insider Participation”) is considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61- 101”).The Insider Participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to insiders nor the consideration being paid by insiders will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
None of the Units nor the underlying Shares and Warrants that were offered and sold in the Offering have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and none of the Shares, Warrants, or Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, the Units in the United States, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This news release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the U.S. Securities Act.
References to “US$” are to United States dollars and references to or “C$” are to Canadian dollars. On March 12, 2026, the daily average exchange rate as reported by the Bank of Canada for the conversion of one Canadian dollar into United States dollars was C$1.00 equals US$0.7343. The Shares are currently trading in Canada on the Cboe Canada exchange under the symbol “VERS” and in the United States on the OTCQB under the symbol “VRSSF”.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains statements which constitute “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Company with respect to future business activities and plans of the Company. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions. More particularly and without limitation, this news release contains forward–looking statements and information relating to the intended use of proceeds from the Offering,.
The forward–looking statements and information are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the management of the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance that such plans will be completed as proposed or at all. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions of management, including, without limitation, that the net proceeds from the Offering will be sufficient to fund the Company’s intended activities; the Company will be able to execute on its research and development objectives as planned; and general business, market and economic conditions will not materially change. Although management of the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements and information are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward–looking statements and information since no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct.
Forward-looking statements and information are provided for the purpose of providing information about the current expectations and plans of management of the Company relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such statements and information may not be appropriate for other purposes, such as making investment decisions. Since forward–looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to successfully implement its business plan and achieve its research and development objectives; changes in general economic and market conditions; the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient working capital and liquidity; dependence on key personnel and the ability to attract and retain qualified employees; competition from other companies in the Company’s industry; and other risks detailed from time to time in the filings made by the Company in accordance with securities regulations. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward–looking statements and information contained in this news release. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
The forward–looking statements and information contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and no undertaking is given to update publicly or revise any forward–looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws. The forward-looking statements or information contained in this news release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
